STOCKTON, Calif. - The Stockton Ports, 11-time champions of the California League, are excited to offer their fans a chance to win some incredible baseball memorabilia, by hosting the Legends of Baseball Memorabilia Raffle. The first of its kind memorabilia raffle will give fans a chance to win a set of individually autographed baseballs signed by the Top 10 career home run hitters in Major League Baseball History.

The Legends of Baseball Memorabilia Raffle is a season-long initiative. Fans ages 18 and older can purchase raffle tickets for $20, beginning on Monday, May 10 for a chance to win the following memorabilia:

Grand Prize: Collection of Autographed baseballs from the Top 10 career home run hitters in MLB History
Â includes 10 single signed baseball by Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey JR, Sammy Sosa, Frank Robinson, Alex Rodriguez, Mark McGwire, and Harmon Killebrew housed in a custom made display case.

Fans can purchase raffle tickets at the Ports Ticket Office and Front Office during their hours of operation, and also at the Ports guest services booth during Ports games. The raffle will last up to Thursday, August 19, 2010, when the Ports will hold the prize drawings on-field at their 7:05pm game against the Lancaster JetHawks.

Proceeds raised from the raffle will benefit participating charitable organizations and the Stockton Ports Anchor Fund which aids several community projects, with a focus on youth centers and youth sports. In 2009, the Anchor Fund donated approximately $35,500 and nearly $107,500 of in-kind donations, including 13,350 tickets to local non-profit organizations, charities and schools.

The Ports look to make the memorabilia raffle available to other teams in the California League, giving teams a chance to raise money for their own local charities and also giving fans of the other nine teams in the league a chance to win these great prizes.
